I watch a butterfly swing by the frangipani

No human is just human. Even the mosquitoes

Here dream as they bite. We discuss where

To go for dinner. No memory sheathes its object tight

The sun drops low then fades out, the lanterns sway

No one can say-now, the banana flower, the gin on ice

No joy is without gaudiness, no murderer lacks a name

I dream my mother’s missing. Nothing could make time

go by without newspapers and screams

and yet I can always find a way to say:

I mourn for it because it used to be my life.
